The radio on my '10 Ultra...
turns on more often than not when I first start the bike. I originally thought it was because the starter would drag when first firing the motor and put a big load on the electrical, there by for some reason turn the radio on. I now keep it on a battery tender, but there is still drag when first starting, and the radio turns on probably 75% of the time.
Any ideas on why the radio is turning on? I called my local shop and was told they had never heard of something like this...

Mines an 07 but we have the same radio. Maybe I'm not understanding your problem but if I leave the radio on when I stop riding it will always be on when I restart. If I turn it off it will be off when I restart..

Not sure what is going on, as it doesn't do it 100% of the time.

UCEG,
Check the version # of your HK firmware and see if it's up to date. I'm sure it is, but you never know.

Radio Fun
Welcome to the world of Harley and Harmon Kardon sound systems! I have an 06 Ultra and I just got it back from the shop after it's 6th visit that usually lasts 7-10 days for radio trouble. Harley and Harmon Kardon have had trouble with this radio set up since they started using it in 05, and the brain surgeons still use the same radio. I really have had continuous problems since day one and over 14k miles. Yeah, I know not a lot of miles. Good luck, be patient, and take it back when the weather/your schedule looks like you can spare the bike for a week. Buy the Extended Service Plan! Radios alone will show you this is a good buy!! Ride it and have fun... Dave
